Peak-to-average power ratio reduction of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing signals using improved salp swarm optimization-based partial transmit sequence model by Vandana Tripathi, Prabhat Patel, Prashant Kumar Jain, Shailja Shukla

“…Among the available methods, partial transmit sequence (PTS) is an efficient PAPR reduction method but can be computationally expensive while deter-mining optimal phase factors (OPFs). Therefore, an optimization algorithm, namely, the improved salp swarm optimization algorithm (ISSA), is incorpo-rated with the PTS to reduce the PAPR of the OFDM signals with limited com-putational cost. …”
